1954 National Service Riots or Anti-National Sevice Riots is a riot in Singapore that occurred in 1954 due to the communist influence.
The persons involved were only the Chinese students in Chinese Middle School age 20 and above.
On 13 May 1954, students at a number of Chinese schools demonstrated against the British government’s decision to make young men, age 18-20, do part-time military service. The students were unwilling to defend a foreign government which they wanted to drive out of Singapore. The demonstration led to rioting and the police had to put down on the riot.
